cannot find puppet_node_classifier

[shlo....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn configure puppet nodes using ENC. The instruction tell to add to puppet.conf the line:

external_nodes = /usr/bin/puppet_node_classifier 

I cannot find  puppet_node_classifier anywhere in my system. I have puppet 3.3.1 installed.

What I need to install in order to have it?

Thanks.

As far as I know, "/usr/bin/puppet_node_classifier" is supposed to be
the path to your ENC script.

What ENC are you trying to use? Either your ENC documentation should
tell you how to configure this (Puppet Dashboard/Console, Foreman, etc.)
or if you're writing your own ENC, this should be the path to your node
terminus script.

Do I need to install something special for that or it came with Puppet?

It is essentially a Puppet extension point.  There are programs that provide a suitable node classifier (Foreman, Dashboard), but a lot of people write their own.  The whole point is that the program to which you point must output appropriate details specific to the nodes of your site.  If you don't know what this is about then you really should shelve the idea for now.

Hi,

ENC description from puppetlabs can be found here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html

Or search/google for "puppet enc examples"
you will find sites like this:
